The motivation behind this project is to implement a data stream processing system based on the QUAY system [1]. The prototype called QUAY-FPGA will consist of configurable hardware and software written in the Handel-C language and compiled using the DK design suite [2]. It will be demonstrated that query throughput can be improved by managing memory access patterns and increasing execution par...

Quay crane allocation is one of the most important scheduling plans in the container terminal. A large of production data is stored in the database of the terminal. This paper utilizes the method of data mining to analyze the problem of quay crane allocation by using these data. From the mining, valuable information has been gotten from the database. The paper chooses the fuzzy cmeans cluster a...

The excess pore water pressure generated under the combined vertical and horizontal earthquake excitations is generally greater than that unidirectional excitation, which may further affect dynamic response of soil-pile-superstructure-quay wall (SPSQ) system. This study conducted a coupled effective-stress analysis for SPSQ system to liquefaction-induced lateral displacement excitations. To acc...

This paper discusses the problem of scheduling quay cranes, the most important equipment in port terminals. A simulation model is developed for evaluating time of quay cranes. Then a dynamic scheduling model using objective programming for quay cranes is developed based on genetic algorithm approach. Finally, numerical experiments on a specific container terminal are made for propose approach. ...

New ports are mostly constructed on low lying coastal areas or shallow coastal waters. The quay wall and terminal yard are raised to a level well above mean sea level to assure flood safety. The resulting ‘conventional terminal’ requires large volumes of fill material often dredged from the sea, which is costly. The terminal yard of a ‘polder terminal’ lies below the outside water level and is ...
